I'm so proud of our #50501Houston organizers and volunteers. We kicked ass today. We had amazing material support from Indivisible, AFT/AFL-CIO, Harris County Democratic Party, Party for Socialism & Liberation, and Refuse Fascism. Thanks to the many volunteer Houstonians who signed up to help make a difference!
Shout out to the Houston chapter of National Lawyers Guild for providing Legal Observers today, and Shep Boys Waste Mgmt of Cypress for a great discount and great service.
